In recently reading a few nationally published articles about craft beer being sold at Major League Baseball ballparks, I couldn't help but be reminded of a recent Brewers Association news release that seemed to draw varying degrees of criticism and praise from just about every corner of the beer universe.

That release, titled "Craft vs. Crafty," lamented the proliferation of so-called "crafty" beers: products churned out en masse by some of the titans of the brewing industry, but marketed and portrayed as though they are being developed and produced by small, artisanal outfits.
